The series is back up to its old tricks, the bad ones, as this new installment hosts a crazy number of glitches and annoyances. Some fun can be had playing with WWE’s toys, but the cost of entry seems steeper than ever this year.
Even if the puzzle density and technical issues may drive you to madness, this cosmic horror still has something unique to offer.
As a game, Overwatch is the best it's ever been. As a port, you're likely better off playing another version.
Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment are undeniably great games but even with updated graphics and improvements to control schemes, they show their age and are not well suited to home consoles.
Driven Out is an unquestionably hard game, but once you master the delicate art of its combat and parrying, you'll be compelled to play for hours more. It's a genuinely brilliant title.
Hero Is Back is a decent beat 'em up, held back by too much repetition over its short run-time to make it worth recommending.
Little Big Workshop is a factory simulator built for the masses. It gets the little details right while setting up big goals for those new to the genre, even if the little workers can cause headaches at times.
The Witcher 3 is still an astounding game to be celebrated, but even if it's one of the console's considerably better ports, the Nintendo Switch version really isn't the way to experience Wild Hunt.
Concrete Genie paints a pretty picture with innovative mechanics and a charming personality that's hard to resist.
With a lovable protagonist and a soundtrack to die for, Felix The Reaper's innovatively designed puzzles are hindered only by a fussy camera. At its core, however, resides an inexorable charm that deems this title a truly novel gem.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered feels like the ultimate fan tribute to the series. It's a lot of fun, but those who aren't fans may not appreciate the attention to detail.
Radio Commander is a solid role-playing crisis manager game set during a compelling historical event, with great concepts and an interesting communications mechanic. However, the game is brought down heavily by an identity crisis in its core game design and inherent tedium and repetition.
Rain of Reflections Chapter 1: Set Free is a competent point and click adventure with fun ideas and an interesting world. Unfortunately, the game's short length and poor voice acting prevent it from becoming great.
John Wick Hex's early pretence of fulfilling strategy gives way to a maddening trial and error experience that simply doesn't do the license justice.
Trine 4 is a love letter to fans, providing a fully-realized puzzle game rife with experimentation, quality-of-life features, and utterly breathtaking visuals, all but guaranteeing a bright and beautiful future for the franchise.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint mostly feels like yet another AAA game that was released too soon. However, despite its faults, glitches and an awful push towards microtransactions, there's just enough fun in this open-world tactical shooter to warrant checking it out.
Indivisible initially impresses with a tight package that visually stuns but after hours of repetition and ease, I'd rather take some time apart.
Warsaw is a good installment in the dungeon crawler genre with its historical theme, excellent artstyle, and atmosphere carrying the experience. However, it can feel tedious at times with the slow responsiveness of skills during combat and some grindy situations in combat.
With unsurprisingly shady surprise mechanics and little to no significant movement on the pitch, FIFA 20 is a stopgap entry that only has Volta to boast about.
Flawed, but not a failure, Code Vein offers the same hardcore Soulslike action with less of a barrier of entry, making for a decent gateway into a growing genre.
